the layers (going down) are the emergent layer, then the canopy layer, the understory layer the the forest floor.

The emergent layer - the emergents are the tallest trees so they can get sunlight.

The canopy layer - the canopy is the thickest layer of the rainforest.

Understory/Undercanopy - This layer has young trees, short trees and bushes.

Forest floor/Shrub layer - There are few plants in this layer that have adapted to low-light.
